Hello Richard_Lemkhar, on web you can find plenty of Project Management implementations in PowerBI. Some of them are demonstrated at DataStoriesGallery. For example, this one - Power BI Project Management Gantt Chart - Microsoft Fabric Community.
However, consider an important thing: PowerBI is primarly data visualization tool. Therefore, it's not simple to create a report, that will give you a possibility to update data online in the real time. Most likely, you'll need go to a the data source for data manipulation and then refresh your report to see the change. Depending on your needs it might be a blocking issue. The alternative to overcome this problem is the use of external visuals that allow data editing or use of PowerBI together with PowerApps.
Good luck! 🙂

I personally don't have any PM project template to share. Maybe you can contact the Gallery Item author to ask a copy of it.

Thank you Sergii24
the plan was to use the excel template as a data source and Power Bi for visualization. I understand i need to update the figures to be able to refresh the dashboard.
howerever, Excel template can be also a solution
thanks i will have a look to the link
best regards
